Community ManagerNHL 24 - January 25th Tuner Update Notes
NHL24 - January 25th Tuner Updates:
Available at 12 PM EST
Offensive Puck Ragging:
Community Feedback: Players can take advantage of the Full Pressure system to puck rag in the offensive zone and run out the clock.
- Removed the Adrenaline Energy Modifier so the offensive team will drain energy at their normal rate.
- Removed the Pinned Attribute Debuff for the defensive team.
- Full Pressure will continue to modify the energy drain for defensive skaters.
- This puts emphasis on defending teams to pick their moments to attack the puck carrier, and allow teams to get fresh legs on the ice if there is a whistle.
Community Feedback: Pressure should not be gained through simple offensive zone puck possession. This encourages players to continuously cycle the puck to build up Pressure instead of actively attacking the opposing team.
- Severely reduced the amount of pressure gained through Offensive Puck Possession.
Hustling and Energy:
Community Feedback: Straight line hustling is a very prominent strategy. Skaters who have no energy are able to hustle at high speed, allowing them to stay ahead of defenders even when exhausted. Tiring out a skater should carry more risk, making players pick their moments to Hustle or conserve energy.
- Hustling when exhausted will no longer provide any hustle speed bonus.
- Increased Hustle Energy drain by 33%..
- Increased overall Energy impact to max skating speed by 10%.
- Player’s max skating speed is now affected when their energy is 33% depleted. Previously, max skating speed was affected when their energy was 50% depleted.
- Reduced WOC Energy Drain from acceleration by 16%, to make it consistent with other modes.
Additional Updates:
- Further reduced the CPU Teammate Penalty slider to lower the chances of CPU Teammate penalties.
